and oreintation is only 2 hours long but you have to wait until the next morning for the drug test results come back then they will give you a dispatch

 

Hey Roaddawg92, I have a few questions if you don't mind answering. Thanks..

*How heavy are the loads on average.

* Hows the scheduling Do you have enough time to get to your destination or do you have to much time to get there.

*Is there a lot of deadhead.

*How many miles are you getting per week.

 

If your running under their authority arent they required to pay liability and cargo insurance?

 

hey there fld. the loads are diffrent on each load i had some that was 11000 to 36000. as for the time to get to your del. yes i have time to get there and del. there is one dispatcher that will try to push you. so i asked for another dispatcher and they put me in with one that seems to be working good for me. 1st thing she asked me is where do i want to run. and she always offers 3 diffrents loads to choose from. if you dpont want any of them then she will get you another one. the longest i had to deadhead was 75 miles. my last load i had to run 33 miles. they do their best to keep deadhead miles low. my lowest miles for a week was 2800. my highest was 3673. all depends how you want to run. they do have the frieght to keep you moving.

 

the 3973 miles was for this week so i am still feeling things out. fld there is a driver from ok city, he tells me he is doing good miles too.

 

Thanks for the feedback Roaddawg92.

 

I read your post again 11000 to 36000 lbs. Thanks..

 

anytime fld good luck with what ever you choose

 

losttrucker i cant send any msgs but here is some info. so far im doing good the pay has been there. as far as the east coast i only ran it once. i tpold them where i like to run so they dont offer me any east coast loads. i ave between 3200.00 to 4000.00 gross i had one wek where i grossed 2600.00n one week but i took a few days off. you stay out as long as you want or you go home whenever you want to. they do pay you for tolls if you turn in the receipt. good luck

 

oh i forgot to mention i have not had to sit unless i wanted to. soon as i get unloaded they have another one for me
